ABYSS FRAME

Steel remembers the dark.

ABYSS FRAME is a top-down, twin-stick hack-and-slash where you pilot a combat frame through endless machine swarms — and rebuild it, piece by piece, from what they drop.

DESTROY

Fast twin-stick combat against dense swarms, elites and oversized machines. Dash through gaps, blast everything around you, watch the numbers fly. Keep the kills coming: a kill streak of ten or more pays bonus experience when it ends.

LOOT

Six gear slots — main gun, body, head, arms, legs, reactor. Three grades of regular gear, plus hand-made specials: 120 uniques, 30 set pieces and 150 weapon arts. Every special does one clear thing, and none of them are random filler.

BUILD

Four skill trees — Heavy Ordnance, Firearms, Electronics, Support — with a spec tree for each attack skill. Salvage what you do not need, then craft, upgrade and reroll gear from the parts. Stack sets, bend a skill with a unique, and find your own broken build.

Every point can be refunded for free, at any time, so try anything. Six build slots remember your gear together with your skill setup, and swap both at once.
